The John Wick and Matrix star is co-writing with New York Times bestselling graphic novelist Matt Kindt as well as teaming up with artist Alessandro Vitti on a 12-issue comic from Boom! Studios. It’s called “Berzerker” but spelled “BRZRKR”.
Artwork for the comic that's been released so far appears to also take some inspiration from Reeves.
The official synopsis for Keanu’s blood-soaked BRZRKR! goes like this:
The action-packed and hyper-violent “BRZRKR” centers on a warrior who looks a lot like a certain beloved actor and has walked a blood-soaked path across the world for centuries. In present day, the Berzerker does dangerous jobs for the US government in exchange for the truth about his existence.
Reeves told USA Today that the story will take some "really interesting twists and turns" and that the comic will explore themes of "the nature of violence, morals, ethics (and) what side do you choose".
The project is a “dream come true”, he confided.
The maiden issue comes out in print and digital on October 07.
I’m sure his legions of fans like me are super excited!
